There are in total 170 dioceses in the Inquisition, divided into 18 tribunals (but two dioceses - the Kāmilbausa and the Kāyīchah islands - are not part of any tribunal, both being insular dioceses between the "mainland" of the Inquisition and the continent of Védren<ref>The Kāyīchah islands are geologically on the Védrenian plate and actually considered part of Védren in every major source.</ref>): ''Jade Coast Area'' (16, lilac in the map above), ''Eastern Plain'' (10, dark light blue), ''Namaikęeh - Northern Plain'' (7, brown), ''Central Plain'' (9, violet), ''Western Plain'' (7, golden orange), ''Inland Southwest'' (8, earth green), ''Coastal Southwest'' (6, deep green), ''South'' (14, cyan), ''Near East'' (6, orange), ''Southern Far East'' (7, red), ''Far Eastern Islands'' (6, grayish blue), ''Northern Far East'' (9, yellow), ''East'' (9, light green), ''Northeast'' (12, salmon), ''North'' (9, dark light blue), ''Near West'' (15, purple), ''Northwest'' (7, light blue), and ''West'' (10, dark blue).

Some dioceses consist of two separate administrative units with a single religious head - these are mostly newer developments, where effectively a new "state" has been created for all matters except the most strictly religious ones. Depending on the diocese, these separate units may bear the name of ''province'' ('''ṣramāṇa''') - for larger but less densely populated areas - or ''eparchy'' ('''ṭūmma''') - for smaller, mostly urban areas. Eparchies are a special kind of administrative division, as they are only divided in municipalities, but they are normally counted as cities statistically - for example the capital city of the Inquisition, ''Līlasuṃghāṇa'', is listed as the nation's largest city, with 9Ɛ,4 raicē/29.8 million inhabitants - there is however no such entity as the city of Līlasuṃghāṇa, but only its eparchy. There are in total ~~six~~ eparchies in the Inquisition: ''[[Verse:Chlouvānem Inquisition/Līlasuṃghāṇa|Līlasuṃghāṇa]]'' (diocese of Nanašīrama), ''Ilēnimarta'' (diocese of Kanyāvālna), ''Līṭhalyinām'' (Latayūlima), ''Līlta'' (Mīdhūpraṇa), ''Cami'' (Haikamotē), and ''Naiṣambella'' (Yayadalga); apart from the latter (counting 16,1 raicē/4.5 million people), ~~all other ones~~ have more than 36 raicē (~10.4 million) inhabitants and are the ~~five~~ largest cities of the country.
